Stefan, on the other hand, had long forgotten Renee�s appearance. He had even forced himself to forget how her voice sounded. Hence, in his perspective, the petite woman in front of him was merely a stranger of the same race.

Since Renee wasn�t reacting much, he didn�t want to pay any more attention to her either. He turned to the vendor and said, �Please hand me the cup now. My fiance is still waiting for me.�

�Seraphina is a woman of great taste, I�m sure she�ll love this mug as a gift.�

�I�m sorry, this lady had her eyes on it first. I can�t sell it to you.� The vendor returned Stefan his thick stack of cash and brought the mug to Renee with a smile. �I hope this mug can brighten your day, young lady.�

�I� I don�t need it! You can just give it to him!� Renee backed away like a coward and quickly rushed off out of the marketplace.

She had never expected to see Stefan again. Thinking back to their past and the deal she made with the skies, she viewed herself as a monster. She would only be safe as long as she stayed away from him.

�Just look at his current life now that I�ve left. It�s amazing. Not only has he brought H Group to new heights, but he also got his happy ending as well. I could never give him the bliss that his expression so clearly shows��

Stefan pondered deeply as he watched the slender woman run off. �Why does this stranger� feel so familiar to me?�

�Do you know each other?� The vendor wrapped the mug up nicely and handed it to Stefan, seemingly curious.

�No.� Stefan shook his head with absolute certainty.

�Why do I feel like you two have known each other for quite a long time? It�s like you�ve had an interesting past with each other.� The vendor smiled mysteriously.

�Why do you say this? Do you know her?� Stefan turned around and stared at the vendor curiously.

�Everyone in this town knows Joan. She�s a very strong woman�� The vendor looked heartbroken as he was reminded of the first time he met Renee.

That day, Banrea was struck by a heavy downpour. On the bumpy roads of the town, she was pushing a man in a wheelchair, desperately asking for help as she was drenched in the rain. It seemed that their car had broken down, and she desperately needed someone to give them a ride.

It was simply unforgettable to see a woman like her taking care of a crippled, blind man.

�What then?� Stefan was intrigued, hoping that the vendor could continue explaining.

Just then, Seraphina ran over to him from the other side of the marketplace.

�Oh darling, where did you run off to? I�ve been looking all over for you?� She leaped into the man�s embrace like a spoiled little princess, interlocking her arms with his. �There�s this famous cafe up ahead. Let�s go! Come try it out with me!�

�I bought you a mug.� Stefan handed the black and white mug to her. �Didn�t you say you were a clean freak? You can use this mug for coffee.�

�Oh my god! It�s so pretty! I love it so much. You�re the best!� Seraphina hugged and kissed him repeatedly. She appeared as though she was about to melt from all this sweetness. JrNovels.com
